LEGISLATIVE NOTES.

A meeting OF the Joint Committees on lrriga-
ton of the senate and Assembly was held last
evening, at which Wrights a. B. II was taken
ND and considered at length. The bill provides
for the organization and government of irriga-
ton districts, and the acquisition and distrIbu-
ton OF waters for irrigation purposes A num-
Der Of amendments were made 70 the bilii btt
its general features remain as IN the original
hill One section was added to the bill which
is understood to be in the interest of the mining
sections, as il recognizes rights and properties
already acquired Tor the storage ana dlstrlbu-
ton of water for mining purposes. The icon-
mittees reported unanimously in favor OF the
bill as amended.
Contra Costa member of the committee, that
gentleman said - We think We have at last
agreed upon a just bill to regulate this import

ture exieeneies may determine that some
changes in its provisions Will lie necessary. nut
it is incumbent on this Legislature to do some
thing in the direction OF meeting TIE issue That
has been 50 long growing and is now so pressing
upon the peoples representatives A b.gtnning
must be made sometime or other in this matter
OF harmouiZiDg the conflicting interests OF Irrl-

measure will set the ball rolling IN the right

The debate in the Senate yesterday on Dray's

THE DYNAMITE BILL.

The Vrooman bill to regulate the sale of
dynamite and other "high explosives"
was printed in full in the REcoRD-UNIoN
Yesterday. 1t is drastic measure, but
needed. The sale of these dangerous COM
pounds must be brought within the super
vision of police authorities. Honest
manufacturers, dealers and transporters
will not object to this for they are not
advocates or promoters of assassination.
Though long, the bill simply provides for
registration OF sales, that police authors
ties may ascertain who buys and for what
paz, ,ose. This is clearly within the police
powers Of the State, and is not likely to be
met by any constitutional objections. In
the second place, it makes the use of these
compounds for malicious assault upon life
OF property a felony-it should add the
death penalty The man who wars on
women and children, in order to reach the
special victim of his hate, deserves the

against the measure The Senator, who is usu-
ally gallant based his objection to the bill on
the ground that it would be special legislation,
and therefore unconstitutional. The Senate,
however, was disposed to discount any possible
adverse opinion by the Supreme Court, and
passed the bill. The solitary opponent of the
measure was expected to offer an amendment
excepting himself from the restrictive clause of
the bill, but his gallantry returned, and he re-

The debates in the Assembly yesterday were
the most interesting of the session. and brought

ASSEMBLY.

Immediately after the reading of the Journal
Assemblyulan Hart OF Colusa county arose to Il
question of privilege. He said this was the
third term he had served in this branch Of the
Legislature. During that time il never had be-
come his duty TO ask for or rise 10 question of
privilege. and be did il now with great deal of
reluctance, and if the accusations fell upon him
alone they would fall harmless. There was no
member upon the floor OF the Assembly who
had a higher regard for the functions of the
press and none believed more in the liberty of
the press than did he. He then, holding in his
hand copy of the Colusa San, VIII. s. Green,
editor and referring to an article therein,
branded it as infamous and false He then read
the article. which commenced by asking Has
COlusa county a representative III the Assembly?
According to Mr.. Hart she has not II then
stated = it was generally understood that those
in favor had secured the services of Mr.. T. j.
Hart, attorney-atlaw. He said to others that
he would oppose the bill, that he expected the
Willows papers 10 burn him up, etc. He intro
-duced the bill aud afterwards promised TO op-
pose it. Few believed that he would do as he
said: but we will do Mr. Hart the justice to say
that those who know him best expected him
to act Just as he has done. We will do
him the further justice of saying that this incl
dent has added but little to, or taken but little
from kis reputation for truth and yeracity."
Mr. Hart then added that he had ever endeav-
ored 10 conduct himself SO as 10 merit the re-
spect and esteem of his constituency aud his
fellow members OF the Legislature. He was

THE Assembly did itself credit yesterday
by reconsidering its vote upon the mineral
cabinet bill, and resolving, so far as it is
concerned, to leave the collection in the
Capital City. 1t insures its exhibition to
the very best advantage, accommodates the
demands of the State Library and involves
the State in no expense. We think twill
be generally conceded that it is wiser to
keep this collection intact than to merge
it with any other, and that it is better
policy to have three such expositions Of
mineral wealth and geological formation
on view in three places, than to mass them
in one-especially, as the valuable collec-
tion in San Francisco is so large and so
rapidly growing, as also is that at Ber-
kelley

A Card-That Question of Privilege.

EDS RECORD UNION: In the question of
privilege to which Mr.. Hart rose yesterday
in reply to an article in the Colusa Sun, he
stated that the division question was a
matter of issue before the election, and for
this reason the precincts of Butte City,
Orland and Germantown, the precincts of
the proposed new county now most op-
posed gave him but few votes. This was
news to me. In fact, Mr.. Hart, at a meet
ing with some of his constituents since the
Legislature convened, was asked what
would have been the effect on his election
if he had announced himself in favor of
division, and he said he would have been
showed under ~ But, thinking that he
NAV have made such announcement at the
precincts named by him, telegraphed for
information on that subject. From Butte
City received the following dispatch, and
expect the mail tomorrow will bring me
information from the other precincts:
BUTTE CRY, February Sth
To ". S. Green, Sacramento The subject of
division of county was not Il matter of issue in
the last election. Hart was not here during the
canvass, and the community are very much
surprised to hear his announcement. No one
here ever heard him make such declaration
W. +. Miller Z. McDaniels, Jos. Bounds J. J.
Winkler, 2. Stone, S. D. Young and many Others
Mr.. Hart will not bring the yeracity of
these gentlemen into question.
This incident will not add anything to
Mr.. Harris reputation for truth and We
racity in Coiusa county, and as | remarked
in the editorial, to which be took excep-
ton, it will detract nothing from it.
As to Mr.. Harris statements about myself,
l have nothing to say. If my life has not
been a refutation of any SANDER or insinua-
ton that can be uttered or printed, then
have lived for half a century in vain and
ought to die. w. S. GREEN,

dignity the brutal intelligence that directs
the curve of the dynamite bomb, orplaces
it beneath public conveyances, or other
wise disposes it SOFAS tokill and MAIN inno
cent human beings. The bill provides that
possession of these compounds, except for
lawful purpose, shall be felonious pos
session, and it recognizes municipal and
other regulations concerning their trans
portation among the people. 1t encourages
informers to reveal violations of the law
of registry, and stimulates officers by re-
wards to be watchful of all infractions of
the Act The bill should be passed into
law, and at once.
THEY employ heroic methods of limit
ing the license of lawyers in argument in
Virginia. That must have been rare
scene, for instance, at Tazewell the other
day Colonel May had severely cross-ex-
amined witness Baldwin. The latter sent
word to May that if in his argument next
day he reflected upon him he would open
broadside upon the counsel with prime
GOOD revolver The Colonel was not at all
dismayed, but when he reached the point
indicated drew a long breath, remarked
that he would do his duty by Baldwin,
and thereupon launched out in a scourging
review of his testimony. Baldwin was as
prompt to act as to threaten, and opened
on the Colonel with cold lead. The latter
then returned fire, the crowd in attend
ance took sides and produced any number
of hip-pocket artillery pieces, and for
few moments war lowered in smoke, and
the reverberation of firearms over the seat
of Justice. Colonel May came off with a
bullet in his leg; Colonel Tines got Il like
messenger of comfort in his elbow; rev.
| erend gentleman had an entire new part
ing plowed through his hair on the wrong
side; Mr.. Mitten, by raking fire, lost a
whole row of front teeth and one side of
his mustache; Deputy Sheriff lost q
forefnger, and the Clerk of the Court, be-
cause he lodged, had the back of
his coat so thoroughly ripped up
that even his skin bore the marks
of the blunt instrument that did
the tailoring; a woman had an additional
hole worked in her chip hat, and others
received clothing wounds. No one was
killed. The Court, say the local accounts,
behaved coolly, and when the smoke
cleared away ordered the argument to pro-
ceed Colonel May prepared to continue
his remarks, but his physician insisted that
he retire and be relieved of the lead in
his leg. No one was held for contempt,
| and the main discussion of the affair was
over the heroism of the two chiefs to the
conflict This refreshing news Of how
they settle little points of law down in the
State of Presidents it is to be hoped will
not be taken as a precedent by members of
the California bar. Such chivalric cpl
sodes will scarcely bear imitation in the
lighter drier atmosphere of semi-tropic
regions. Here some one might be Sc
riously injured, and the Court might con-
slider its dignity insulted by resort to such
methods of practice.

WE invite attention to a communication
in another column concerning substitute
for Senate bill 81, to authorize corpora
tons to construct restraining dams, behind
which hydraulic mining companies may
prosecute their industry. The measure is
one that should receive the closest scru-
tiny Of the people of the valley, and all
who value the integrity of navigable
streams and the protection of agricultural
lands. 1t is bill that proposes to place
these in jeopardy, involve the State itself
in the maintenance of restraining dams,
and to permit the sending down of the
matter carried in suspension, of which at
this point on the river we have most cause
to complain. The mere possibility of the
passage of the bill is in itself menace to
valley interests.
